New version coming April 13th

"Apple Product Marketing will be giving an update on Final Cut Pro X — more details to come."

"...We’ll have a special emphasis on large-scale multi-user installations of X. If you’re a facility supervisor in the broadcast, feature film or educational institution, this will be the place to learn more."

The quotes you pulled Chris are out of context and a bit misleading, IMO.

FCPWorks will have it's own suite at NAB and in that suite FCPWorks will be talking about things like using FCP X in a large-scale, multi-user environment. Some Apple PR people will also be there to talk about X. Nothing earth shattering, IMO, though it's probably the place to be at NAB if you want to learn more about X.

Just to clear a couple things up… I have no idea what Apple will be presenting… and please, if you listen to what I said on the grill, don’t read any tea leaves. As I said there, you should keep your expectations low, and all I really know is what’s listed on our site... here's a link to it:

FWIW, (and I know this sounds like BS but...) I have a friend in the biz who has a contact at Apple. What he said was that Apple would be making a significant announcement re: FCPX around NAB.

I have absolutely no details and no way to confirm. Completely unsubstantiated. But: it made my heart leap a little and if Apple is coming out with enhancements for X, announcing them right around NAB certainly makes sense.

[Eric Santiago]"All we need now is to have Kevin Smith be a speaker at SuperMeet.
Then we can "rinse and repeat" ;)"

Maybe we can convince either Steve Martin or Mark Spencer to wear padding and a hockey jersey?

Well, maybe not.

If you look at the four year history of X, you'll see two distinct patterns:

a) the update cycle has always been between 3-4 months
b) with few exceptions they were always released on A TUESDAY.

You do the math. For me that means yes, another update is coming eventually (huge surprise, I know), but certainly not on that day. And not only because it's a Monday. That's just not how Apple rolls or has rolled to date.
